Mark's performance scores well below what they could be though he is
not cognitively compromised. His extremely high verbal scores do
indeed make up for the non-verbal and when you average it out, he has
just below an average IQ. Of course, these tests were taken 5 years
ago and he has not been for IQ testing since. I do consider that his
performance scores have risen substantially since that time.

poisened and dyspraxic, I simply don't know what to say about your
findings. All I can speak to is what my child is, not what others
think that he should be.

anymore. But I will continue to treat until I can get as much lead
out of his body as possible since I personally believe that it does
interfere with his function and the person that he is "meant" to be.
He is entitled to his birthright without the lead in his body.
